Dennis wasn’t bad, but he sure was trouble. The most mischievous boy on TV! He was always irritating his neighbor Mr. Wilson when one of his geat ideas would run afoul of Mr. Wilson’s plans.

Joseph Kearns died before the filming of the 1961-1962 season was completed. They brought in Gale Gordon as his brother, John. By the start of the next season John was entrenched in the house, complete with wife, as if the first Mr. Wilson never had existed.

Dennis the Menace was made into a movie in 1993 starring Walter Matthau.
